    The definition of the problem is not irrelevant.

    TRY AND FIND ANY ERROR IN THESE EXACT WORDS:

    I see you are now in full-on cut and paste mode and don't want to
    discuss the points put to you. That's not a fun game. Just image that
    I put the same facts to you every time you paste the same text, ok?


    When I require my exact words to be critiqued this makes the perpetual
    strawman error impossible.

    TRY AND FIND ANY ERROR IN THESE EXACT WORDS:
    As long as the simulated input to embedded_H could never reach its final
    state in any finite number of steps of correct simulation by embedded_H
    then its rejection of this input is necessarily correct.

    Since there are no errors in the exact words of the above no one can
    point them out. Every attempted rebuttal was the strawman error.

    So you agree that Ha3 is correct reject the input <N><5>? Because if the above is true, then the same is true for H (since embedded_H is a copy of H) and therefore for any simulating halt decider, so this is also true:


    I agree that I am only talking about embedded_H and Ha3 is not
    embedded_H. I am also not talking about H because Linz does not use H as
    the basis of his conclusion. We must stay focused on the simplest

    It did take me many months writing and rewriting these words:

    As long as the simulated input to embedded_H could never reach its final
    state in any finite number of steps of correct simulation by embedded_H
    then its rejection of this input is necessarily correct.

    It took thousands of hours from 2004 to 2016 just to get the gist of the
    idea that those above words are based on. The last time that I looked
    there were more than 12,000 posts by me in this forum since 2004.

    Yes you are talking about H (or more accurately Ha).

    The behavior of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated outside of Ĥ must be computationally
    equivalent to the direct execution of Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ yet not the same as ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated inside of Ĥ because:

    The directly executed Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ is the first invocation of infinite recursion that only terminates normally because of its one-way dependency relationship on embedded_H aborting the second invocation of
    this otherwise infinite recursion.

    Bzzt you lose, I did not use the term "UTM" in my exact words above.



    BZZT BACK, LIAR.

    I Said:

    And I said the you are only allowed to critique my verbatim words that

    There is nothing wrong about it.

    computation that halts … the Turing machine will halt whenever it enters

    This is merely Linz applied to a correctly simulated finite string:

    the simulated input to embedded_H could never reach its final state in
    any finite number of steps of correct simulation by embedded_H

    So you agree that Ha3 is correct reject the input <N><5>? Because if the above is true, then the same is true for H (since embedded_H is a copy of H) and therefore for any simulating halt decider, so this is also true:

    Yes you are talking about H (or more accurately Ha).
    The behavior of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated outside of Ĥ must be computationally
    equivalent to the direct execution of Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ yet not the same
    as ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated inside of Ĥ because:

    The directly executed Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ is the first invocation of
    infinite recursion that only terminates normally because of its one-way
    dependency relationship on embedded_H aborting the second invocation of
    this otherwise infinite recursion.

    That's a convoluted way of saying that H is unable to simulate Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ accurately.
    A halt decider computes the mapping of its inputs to its own accept or >>>>>> reject state on the basis of the actual behavior specified by its input. >>>>>>
    embedded_H does correctly simulate ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ until it sees that this
    simulated input will never reach its own final state ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩.

    Similarly, Ha3 does correctly simulate <N><5> until it sees that this simulated input will never reach its own final state <N>.qy. Because the simulated input never reaches its final state of <N>.qy, Ha3 is correct to reject it.

    You stipulated that <N><5> only has five iterations.
    Ha3 is merely halt decider intentionally designed to get the wrong
    answer. I really don't have time to spent on screwy ideas like this.

    By your own logic, Ha3 is correct to reject <N><5>. The simulated input to Ha3 could never reach its final state in
    any finite number of steps of correct simulation by Ha3.
    You designed Ha3 to make sure that it cuts off simulation prematurely.
    If you insist on playing these head games this will be the last response
    I will provide.

    So in other words Ha3 is wrong because it didn't simulate long enough?


    When we ask: Is there any finite number of steps that embedded_H can
    correctly simulate its input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ such that this input reaches its own final state? An answer of: "no" means that embedded_H can correctly
    reject its input.

    Changing the question to any other variation such as Ha3 applied to
    <N><5> is merely the deceitful attempt of trying to get away with the
    strawman error.

    It is not deceitful. It's a test of your logic. You say that the criteria for determining if Ha (because embedded_H is embedded_Ha if it aborts, and Ha is the same as embedded_Ha if it was built properly) applied to <Ha^><Ha^> is correct to reject is
    that it cannot simulate its input to its own final state in a finite number of steps. That's your test for whether a simulating halt decider is correct.

    So by that same logic, since Ha3 cannot simulate its input <N><5> to its own final state in any finite number of steps, it is correct to reject it.

    correctly simulate its input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩
    does not include incorrectly cutting off the simulation.

    In that case, because Hb applied to <Ha^><Ha^> accepts its input, Ha applied to <Ha^><Ha^> incorrectly cuts off the simulation.

    This is why I disallow changing the subject away from the copy of Linz H embedded in Linz Ĥ. There is an infinite set of permutations of
    embedded_H applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ that are incorrect. We could keep talking
    in circles endlessly forever preventing closure if I tolerated these
    deceitful attempts of the strawman error.

    TRY AND FIND ANY ERROR IN THESE EXACT WORDS:
    As long as the simulated input to embedded_H could never reach its final
    state in any finite number of steps of correct simulation by embedded_H
    then its rejection of this input is necessarily correct.

    I only focus on the embedded copy of the Linz H at Ĥ.qx because this is

    So you agree that Ha3 is correct reject the input <N><5>? Because if the above is true, then the same is true for H (since embedded_H is a copy of H) and therefore for any simulating halt decider, so this is also true:

    I agree that I am only talking about embedded_H and Ha3 is not
    embedded_H. I am also not talking about H because Linz does not use H as
    the basis of his conclusion. We must stay focused on the simplest
    possible essence.

    Yes you are talking about H (or more accurately Ha). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The behavior of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated outside of Ĥ must be computationally

    That's a convoluted way of saying that H is unable to simulate Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ accurately.
    A halt decider computes the mapping of its inputs to its own accept or
    reject state on the basis of the actual behavior specified by its input.

    embedded_H does correctly simulate ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ until it sees that this
    simulated input will never reach its own final state ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩.

    Similarly, Ha3 does correctly simulate <N><5> until it sees that this simulated input will never reach its own final state <N>.qy. Because the simulated input never reaches its final state of <N>.qy, Ha3 is correct to reject it.

    You stipulated that <N><5> only has five iterations.

    By your own logic, Ha3 is correct to reject <N><5>. The simulated input to Ha3 could never reach its final state in
    any finite number of steps of correct simulation by Ha3.
    You designed Ha3 to make sure that it cuts off simulation prematurely.
    If you insist on playing these head games this will be the last response
    I will provide.

    So in other words Ha3 is wrong because it didn't simulate long enough?

    When we ask: Is there any finite number of steps that embedded_H can >>>>>>>> correctly simulate its input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ such that this input reaches its
    own final state? An answer of: "no" means that embedded_H can correctly
    reject its input.

    Changing the question to any other variation such as Ha3 applied to >>>>>>>> <N><5> is merely the deceitful attempt of trying to get away with the >>>>>>>> strawman error.

    It is not deceitful. It's a test of your logic. You say that the criteria for determining if Ha (because embedded_H is embedded_Ha if it aborts, and Ha is the same as embedded_Ha if it was built properly) applied to <Ha^><Ha^> is correct to
    reject is that it cannot simulate its input to its own final state in a finite number of steps. That's your test for whether a simulating halt decider is correct.

    So by that same logic, since Ha3 cannot simulate its input <N><5> to its own final state in any finite number of steps, it is correct to reject it.

    correctly simulate its input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩
    does not include incorrectly cutting off the simulation.

    In that case, because Hb applied to <Ha^><Ha^> accepts its input, Ha applied to <Ha^><Ha^> incorrectly cuts off the simulation.
    This is why I disallow changing the subject away from the copy of Linz H >>>> embedded in Linz Ĥ. There is an infinite set of permutations of
    embedded_H applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ that are incorrect. We could keep talking
    in circles endlessly forever preventing closure if I tolerated these
    deceitful attempts of the strawman error.

    So in other words, you can't explain away Hb applied to <Ha^><Ha^> reporting halting as correct, so you try to change the subject. Since you can't refute it, that mean Linz is validated. Q.E.D.

    So what are you doing to do with yourself now that your proof has been invalidated?

    My proof has not been invalidated your strawman error.

    The only reason why you derive these strawman errors is that there are
    no errors in my exact words and you know it.

    If Hb accepting <Ha^><Ha^> is directly counter to your desired result. If it is wrong you would be able to explain why. Your failure to do so is an admission that your reasoning gives incorrect results and that you have no case.

    This all stems from the fact that your H is not correctly answering the question of whether H^ applied to <H^> halts as required by the proof. Don't tell us how many dogs are in your living room when we ask how many cats are in your kitchen.


    Not at all. (Linz got this wrong too) There is never a case where any
    decider gives a rat's ass about the computation that contains itself.

    A halt decider (because it is a decider) must report on the behavior
    specified by its finite string input. As long as it correctly does that
    then nothing else can possibly matter.

    Not at all. (Linz got this wrong too) There is never a case where any
    decider gives a rat's ass about the computation that contains itself.


    There is no confusion. The definition is what it is. It is perfectly acceptable for H to take <H> <<H^><H^>> as an input.


    A halt decider (because it is a decider) must report on the behavior
    specified by its finite string input. As long as it correctly does that
    then nothing else can possibly matter.

    And the behavior specified by <H^><H^> is *by definition* H^ applied to <H^>.

    Except that it is not. The behavior of a correct simulation of a Turing
    machine description is the ULTIMATE measure of the behavior that it
    specifies:

    When Ĥ is applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
    Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ0⟩ to ⟨Ĥ1⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ0⟩ ⟨Ĥ1⟩

    Then these steps would keep repeating:
    Ĥ0 copies its input ⟨Ĥ1⟩ to ⟨Ĥ2⟩ then embedded_H0 simulates ⟨Ĥ1⟩ ⟨Ĥ2⟩
    Ĥ1 copies its input ⟨Ĥ2⟩ to ⟨Ĥ3⟩ then embedded_H1 simulates ⟨Ĥ2⟩ ⟨Ĥ3⟩
    Ĥ2 copies its input ⟨Ĥ3⟩ to ⟨Ĥ4⟩ then embedded_H2 simulates ⟨Ĥ3⟩ ⟨Ĥ4⟩...

    Unless and until embedded_H aborts its simulation, then every nested
    simulation immediately stops with none these simulated inputs ever
    reaching their own final state of ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩ (thus halting).

    The behavior of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated outside of Ĥ must be computationally
    equivalent to the direct execution of Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ yet not the same as ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated inside of Ĥ.

    The directly executed Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ is the first invocation of infinite recursion that only terminates normally because of its one-way dependency relationship on embedded_H aborting the second invocation of
    this otherwise infinite recursion.

    There is no confusion. The definition is what it is. It is
    perfectly acceptable for H to take <H> <<H^><H^>> as an input.


    A halt decider (because it is a decider) must report on the behavior >>>>>>> specified by its finite string input. As long as it correctly
    does that
    then nothing else can possibly matter.

    And the behavior specified by <H^><H^> is *by definition* H^
    applied to <H^>.
    Except that it is not. The behavior of a correct simulation of a
    Turing
    machine description is the ULTIMATE measure of the behavior that it
    specifies:
    When Ĥ is applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
    Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ0⟩ to ⟨Ĥ1⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ0⟩ ⟨Ĥ1⟩

    Then these steps would keep repeating:
    Ĥ0 copies its input ⟨Ĥ1⟩ to ⟨Ĥ2⟩ then embedded_H0 simulates ⟨Ĥ1⟩ ⟨Ĥ2⟩
    Ĥ1 copies its input ⟨Ĥ2⟩ to ⟨Ĥ3⟩ then embedded_H1 simulates ⟨Ĥ2⟩ ⟨Ĥ3⟩
    Ĥ2 copies its input ⟨Ĥ3⟩ to ⟨Ĥ4⟩ then embedded_H2 simulates ⟨Ĥ3⟩
    ⟨Ĥ4⟩...
    Unless and until embedded_H aborts its simulation, then every nested >>>>> simulation immediately stops with none these simulated inputs ever
    reaching their own final state of ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩ (thus halting).

    Let me fix that for you:

    When Ĥn is applied to ⟨Ĥn⟩
    I am not going to dredge through your change of notational conventions I >>> have chemotherapy all day tomorrow.

    I merely changed all references to H and H^ to Hn and Hn^ since that's
    the only case with infinite recursion.  To reiterate:


    I probably won't be anble to look at it. I only have two more minutes I
    can spend on this until 6:00 PM tomorrow.

    When Ĥn is applied to ⟨Ĥn⟩
    Ĥn copies its input ⟨Ĥn0⟩ to ⟨Ĥn1⟩ then embedded_Hn simulates ⟨Ĥn0⟩ ⟨Ĥn1⟩

    Then these steps would keep repeating:
    Ĥn0 copies its input ⟨Ĥn1⟩ to ⟨Ĥn2⟩ then embedded_Hn0 simulates ⟨Ĥn1⟩
    ⟨Ĥn2⟩
    Ĥn1 copies its input ⟨Ĥn2⟩ to ⟨Ĥn3⟩ then embedded_Hn1 simulates ⟨Ĥn2⟩
    ⟨Ĥn3⟩
    Ĥn2 copies its input ⟨Ĥn3⟩ to ⟨Ĥn4⟩ then embedded_Hn2 simulates ⟨Ĥn3⟩
    ⟨Ĥn4⟩...
    Unless and until embedded_Hn aborts its simulation, then every nested
    simulation immediately stops with none these simulated inputs ever
    reaching their own final state of ⟨Ĥn.qn⟩ (thus halting).

    So embedded_Hn, and equivalently Hn, would be correct to report
    non-halting. But Hn doesn't abort, so it can't.

    Talking about H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ diverges from the Linz proof thus is off topic.

    The Linz proof only examines Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ thus embedded_H applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩.

    It is self-evident that Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ never stops running unless embedded_H applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ aborts the simulation of its input at some
    point. This makes the execution of Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ different than the input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated by embedded_H.


    When Ĥa is applied to ⟨Ĥa⟩
    Ĥa copies its input ⟨Ĥa0⟩ to ⟨Ĥa1⟩ then embedded_Ha simulates ⟨Ĥa0⟩ ⟨Ĥa1⟩
    embedded_Ha sees what it believes to be an infinite behavior pattern,
    aborts its simulation, and reports non-halting.
    Ĥa goes to state Ĥa.qn and halts


    When Ĥ is applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
    Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ0⟩ to ⟨Ĥ1⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ0⟩ ⟨Ĥ1⟩

    Then these steps would keep repeating unless and until they are aborted
    based on an identical function being called with identical inputs:
    Ĥ0 copies its input ⟨Ĥ1⟩ to ⟨Ĥ2⟩ then embedded_H0 simulates ⟨Ĥ1⟩ ⟨Ĥ2⟩
    Ĥ1 copies its input ⟨Ĥ2⟩ to ⟨Ĥ3⟩ then embedded_H1 simulates ⟨Ĥ2⟩ ⟨Ĥ3⟩
    Ĥ2 copies its input ⟨Ĥ3⟩ to ⟨Ĥ4⟩ then embedded_H2 simulates ⟨Ĥ3⟩ ⟨Ĥ4⟩...

    The behavior of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated outside of Ĥ must be computationally
    equivalent to the direct execution of Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ yet not the same as ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated inside of Ĥ. In the second case some of the instructions of Ĥ have already been executed. This changes things.

    The directly executed Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ is the first invocation of infinite recursion that only terminates normally because of its one-way dependency relationship on embedded_H aborting the second invocation of
    this otherwise infinite recursion.

    Since it is the case that Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ never stops running unless
    the input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to embedded_H is aborted we cannot correctly say that
    Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ is computationally equivalent to simulated input: ⟨Ĥ⟩
    ⟨Ĥ⟩ to embedded_H.

    The only way that discussing the behavior of H <H^> <H^> woud b e off
    topic is if embedded_H isn't a copy of this H.


    I will answer Ben and Dennis tomorrow when I have more time to make a
    very thorough analysis to their objections.

    Because it is stipulated that the Linz H has has its accept state ruined
    by the appended infinite loop we know that a finite string compare of
    their machine descriptions would not be identical. H is off topic. An
    exact copy of H that has had its final accept state ruined is on topic
    and is named embedded_H.

    That means that you aren't actually talking about the Linz Proof.

    THANK YOU for your confession.



    The Linz proof only examines Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ thus embedded_H applied >> to ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩.

    FLAT OUT LIE.


    I will tell you what I will do. I will give you the benefit of the doubt
    on everything that I called a lie if you do the same for me.

    THIS KEY OBJECTION INCORRECTLY SEEMS TO HAVE A CORRECT BASIS
    As far as your belief that the simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ outside of Ĥ must
    have identical behavior to the simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ inside of Ĥ you can
    carefully study my forthcoming reply to Ben and Dennis.

    This is the only objection that incorrectly seems to have great merit.
    That it fooled everyone including Linz means that it is very difficult
    to understand that it is actually is an error.

    I replied to your reply first only because I could do it quickly. I gave
    you the high level overview of my forthcoming reply to Ben and Dennis.

    That is a very stupid thing to say.

    No

    IF H^ applied to <H^ > Halts for ANY reason, it Halts.

    Yes

    All simulations of a given machine MUST match the behavior of the
    machine itself,

    The simulation of the finite string pair ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H is specified by the actual behavior of this actual finite string input.

    That you continue to believe that it is specified by a non-finite string non-input conclusively proves that you consistently refuse to accept the definition of deciders that only map finite string inputs to their own
    accept or reject state.

    or BY DEFINITION, they are NOT a CORRECT Simulation, and
    al copies of a given Turing Mchine when given the same input must behave
    the same.


    A simulating halt decider must terminate the simulation of any input
    that would never otherwise halt because itself is required to halt.

    As long as the simulation of the input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H could never
    reach is own final state of ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩ it is necessarily correct for embedded_H to reject this input.

    You perpetually confuse the transition from ⟨Ĥ⟩ to ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩ with the transition from embedded_H to Ĥ.qn and just don't seem to have the intellectual capacity to tell the difference. Maybe Dennis has enough
    smarts to get this.

    This has been pointed out to you mny times, and you refuse to show an
    actual counter example to prove your claim.

    THis shows you are just a hypocritical pathological liar who doesn't understand a thing about the field.


    Everything that I say can be easily confirmed as necessarily correct
    entirely on the basis of the meaning of its words.

    I rescind my prior accusations that you have lied. If Peter Linz could
    not understand these things then it is more plausible that my reviewers
    also simply do not understand the key nuances that I am providing.

    Hb simulates <Ha^><Ha^>
    Like I said I will not tolerate endless strawman errors.

    Translation: "I will not tolerate any solid arguments that conclusively prove I am wrong."

    If Hb accepting <Ha^><Ha^> is wrong

    It would be that it violated the specification thus no more than a
    strawman error.

    If you can show an example that perfectly conforms to the specification
    and gets the wrong answer then and only then would it be relevant.

    When embedded_H simulates enough steps of its input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to correctly
    determine that this input cannot possibly reach its own final state of ⟨Ĥ.qn⟩ then embedded_H would be correct to reject this input.

    This is like saying then when you know that you see a cat in your living
    room then you know that this cat is not a dog.

    H3a can correctly determine that <Infinite_Loop><> is non-halting, correct? So it's just a matter of determining how to find it it gets the right answer.


    I will change my words so that your spec meets these changed words:
    It is self evidently correct that the simulated input to h3a cannot
    possibly reach its own final state of ⟨N.qy⟩ in any insufficient number
    number of steps of correct simulation by H3a.

    My specs says 1.. ∞ steps your spec says 1 .. 3 steps

    embedded_Ha doesn't simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for infinite steps either. It simulates for up to some n number of steps.

    Where N is the number of simulated steps required to correctly match an
    infinite behavior pattern such that the input is correctly proved to
    never reach its own final state or N is the number of simulated steps
    required for the input to reach its own final state.

    Hb simulates <Ha^><Ha^>

    Like I said I will not tolerate endless strawman errors.

    The halt determiner that I will always be referring to always rejects
    every simulated input that it correctly determines would never reach any
    final state of this simulated input.

    Every other input it simply remains in pure UTM mode until the input
    reaches its own final state it then accepts this input.

    Every other permutation from the above specification is merely the
    dishonest attempt to try and get away with the strawman error and
    absolutely will not be tolerated.

    If Hb accepting <Ha^><Ha^> is wrong
    It would be that it violated the specification thus no more than a

    It does not violate the specification. The simulating halt decider Hb simulates enough steps of its input <Ha^><Ha^> to correctly determine that its input reaches its final state of <Ha^.qn> therefore it is correct to accept it. This means that Ha
    and therefore embedded_Ha did *not* simulate enough steps of <Ha^><Ha^> and gets the wrong answer.

    HHH always simulates its input until it has proof that its simulated

    its own final state.

    Try and find an input that HHH does not decide correctly, everything
    else is merely a deceitful attempt to get away with the strawman error.

    How does it violate the spec?
    embedded_H DOES SIMULATE ENOUGH STEPS.
    embedded_Ha IS REQUIRED TO SIMULATE ENOUGH STEPS OR IT VIOLATES THE
    SPEC.

    HHH always simulates its input until it has proof that its simulated
    input never reaches its own final state or its simulated input reaches
    its own final state.

    Try and find an input that HHH does not decide correctly, everything
    else is merely a deceitful attempt to get away with the strawman error.

    Assuming HHH is Ha

    We absolutely do not assume that.
    We only assume that HHH has the proeperties shown above.

    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy // NO INFINITE LOOP
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would reach its final state.

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would never reach its final state.

    Both embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ and H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ transition to their final reject
    state as soon as they see an identical copy of embedded_H being
    simulated with identical input.

    Assuming HHH is Ha / embedded_Ha, Ha rejects the input <Ha^><Ha^>
    based on what it believe to be an infinite simulation.  Hb simulates
    the input <Ha^><Ha^> for longer than Ha, where it sees that the
    simulated input reaches its own final state. Hb then accepts this
    input, therefore Ha rejecting the input <Ha^><Ha^> is wrong.

    PO is not good at notation.  He can see that your argument is correct,
    Not at all. I can can no longer afford to tolerate the endless cycle
    of strawman arguments. If I require my notation and my definitions
    then the strawman error cannot possibly occur.


    Then you have DOOMED yourself as your notation has inherent flaws.

    Your Choice.

    Right, and for the simulation of <H^> <H^> that takes an infinite time,
    so HHH fails to meet the requrements of a Halt Decider.

    REFUTED.

    PROVE OTHERWISE.

    FAIL.

    As soon as embedded_H sees an identical copy of a Turing Machine
    description being called a second time with identical input it has
    matched its infinite behavior pattern:

    When Ĥ is applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩
    Ĥ copies its input ⟨Ĥ0⟩ to ⟨Ĥ1⟩ then embedded_H simulates ⟨Ĥ0⟩ ⟨Ĥ1⟩
    Ĥ0 copies its input ⟨Ĥ1⟩ to ⟨Ĥ2⟩ then embedded_H0 simulates ⟨Ĥ1⟩ ⟨Ĥ2⟩
    Ĥ1 copies its input ⟨Ĥ2⟩ to ⟨Ĥ3⟩ then

    embedded_H aborts the entire simulation chain just before embedded_H1 is
    called with ⟨Ĥ2⟩ ⟨Ĥ3⟩

    Assuming HHH is Ha

    We absolutely do not assume that.
    We only assume that HHH has the proeperties shown above.
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy // NO INFINITE LOOP
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would reach its final
    state.

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would never reach its
    final state.

    Both embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ and H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ transition to their final reject
    state as soon as they see an identical copy of embedded_H being
    simulated with identical input.

    Recalling that the H above can also be referred to as Ha to denote a halt decider that aborts with the infinite simulation logic and Ha^ is built from Ha:

    We can give the input <Ha^><Ha^> to Hb, which simulates for some k steps more than Ha,
    So great Hb simulates for some k steps more than infinity.

    Not k more than infinity, but k more than the n steps that Ha simulates.
    and you just said that Ha simulates to infinity because Ha is merely
    another name for H. It is pretty ridiculously stupid to create a new
    name for identical behavior.

    And that is why I'm specifically using the name Ha to refer to the H that aborts. You're now talking about Hn which doesn't abort and *actually* can run for an infinite number of steps, but is unable to report on a non-halting input. Ha is only able
    to simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for a finite number of steps (n), so Hb can simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for n+k steps and see it halt.

    All of those permutations are moot. We don't need to look at any of them
    that get the wrong answer we only need to examine the one that gets the
    right answer and then see how Ĥ plugs in to this one.

    HHH always simulates its input until it has complete proof that this
    simulated input will never reach its final state or this simulated input reaches its final state.

    If the template of HHH cannot be refuted then that makes it irrefutable.

    Then it violates the spec and is merely a dishonest attempt at the
    strawman error.

    How does it violate the spec?
    embedded_H DOES SIMULATE ENOUGH STEPS.
    embedded_Ha IS REQUIRED TO SIMULATE ENOUGH STEPS OR IT VIOLATES THE
    SPEC.

    HHH always simulates its input until it has proof that its simulated
    input never reaches its own final state or its simulated input reaches
    its own final state.

    Try and find an input that HHH does not decide correctly, everything
    else is merely a deceitful attempt to get away with the strawman error.

    Assuming HHH is Ha

    We absolutely do not assume that.
    We only assume that HHH has the proeperties shown above.
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy // NO INFINITE LOOP
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would reach its final
    state.

    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qn
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would never reach its
    final state.

    Both embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ and H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ transition to their final reject
    state as soon as they see an identical copy of embedded_H being >>>>>>>> simulated with identical input.

    Recalling that the H above can also be referred to as Ha to denote a halt decider that aborts with the infinite simulation logic and Ha^ is built from Ha:

    We can give the input <Ha^><Ha^> to Hb, which simulates for some k steps more than Ha,
    So great Hb simulates for some k steps more than infinity.

    Not k more than infinity, but k more than the n steps that Ha simulates. >>>> and you just said that Ha simulates to infinity because Ha is merely
    another name for H. It is pretty ridiculously stupid to create a new
    name for identical behavior.

    And that is why I'm specifically using the name Ha to refer to the H that aborts. You're now talking about Hn which doesn't abort and *actually* can run for an infinite number of steps, but is unable to report on a non-halting input. Ha is only able
    to simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for a finite number of steps (n), so Hb can simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for n+k steps and see it halt.
    All of those permutations are moot. We don't need to look at any of them
    that get the wrong answer we only need to examine the one that gets the
    right answer and then see how Ĥ plugs in to this one.

    So how exactly does Hb get the wrong answer for <Ha^><Ha^>?

    HHH always simulates its input until it has complete proof that this
    simulated input will never reach its final state or this simulated input
    reaches its final state.

    If the template of HHH cannot be refuted then that makes it irrefutable.

    I'll tell you a secret: the Linz proof assumes that HHH exists and then proves that it gets the HHH^ case wrong, showing that it actually can't exist.


    IT IS ONLY THIS SINGLE POINT THAT CAUSES MY PROOF TO BE REJECTED:

    Linz and everyone here believes that deciders must base their decision
    on non-finite string non-inputs Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ over-ruling the actual behavior specified by the actual finite string actual input.

    The definition of decider proves all of them wrong:
    A decider maps its inputs to a final accept or reject state.

    A halt decider maps its inputs to a final accept or reject state on the
    basis of the actual behavior actually specified by its input.

    The actual behavior actually specified by the input is measured by
    whether or not the input could possibly reach its own final state when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.

    steps either. It simulates for up to some n number of
    steps.

    Where N is the number of simulated steps required to
    correctly match an

    It does not violate the specification. The simulating halt
    decider Hb simulates enough steps of its input <Ha^><Ha^> to
    correctly determine that its input reaches its final state of
    <Ha^.qn> therefore it is correct to accept it. This means that
    Ha and therefore embedded_Ha did *not* simulate enough steps
    of <Ha^><Ha^> and gets the wrong answer. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THERE CANNOT POSSIBLY BE ANY CORRECT REBUTTAL TO THIS: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When embedded_H simulates enough steps of its input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to

    embedded_Ha does *not* simulate enough steps of its input
    <Ha^><Ha^> .
    Then it violates the spec and is merely a dishonest attempt at the
    strawman error.

    How does it violate the spec?
    embedded_H DOES SIMULATE ENOUGH STEPS.
    embedded_Ha IS REQUIRED TO SIMULATE ENOUGH STEPS OR IT VIOLATES THE
    SPEC.

    HHH always simulates its input until it has proof that its simulated
    input never reaches its own final state or its simulated input reaches
    its own final state.

    Try and find an input that HHH does not decide correctly, everything
    else is merely a deceitful attempt to get away with the strawman error.

    Assuming HHH is Ha

    We absolutely do not assume that.
    We only assume that HHH has the proeperties shown above. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> // NO INFINITE LOOP
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    // NO INFINITE LOOP
    Ĥ.q0 ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qx ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⊢* Ĥ.qy // NO INFINITE LOOP
    If the pure simulation of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ by embedded_H would reach its final

    Both embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ and H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ transition to their final reject
    state as soon as they see an identical copy of embedded_H being >>>>>>>>>>>>>> simulated with identical input.

    Recalling that the H above can also be referred to as Ha to denote a halt decider that aborts with the infinite simulation logic and Ha^ is built from Ha:

    We can give the input <Ha^><Ha^> to Hb, which simulates for some k steps more than Ha,
    So great Hb simulates for some k steps more than infinity. >>>>>>>>>>>
    Not k more than infinity, but k more than the n steps that Ha simulates.
    and you just said that Ha simulates to infinity because Ha is merely >>>>>>>>>> another name for H. It is pretty ridiculously stupid to create a new >>>>>>>>>> name for identical behavior.

    And that is why I'm specifically using the name Ha to refer to the H that aborts. You're now talking about Hn which doesn't abort and *actually* can run for an infinite number of steps, but is unable to report on a non-halting input. Ha is only
    able to simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for a finite number of steps (n), so Hb can simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for n+k steps and see it halt.
    All of those permutations are moot. We don't need to look at any of them
    that get the wrong answer we only need to examine the one that gets the
    right answer and then see how Ĥ plugs in to this one.

    So how exactly does Hb get the wrong answer for <Ha^><Ha^>?

    HHH always simulates its input until it has complete proof that this >>>>>>>> simulated input will never reach its final state or this simulated input
    reaches its final state.

    If the template of HHH cannot be refuted then that makes it irrefutable.

    I'll tell you a secret: the Linz proof assumes that HHH exists and then proves that it gets the HHH^ case wrong, showing that it actually can't exist.
    IT IS ONLY THIS SINGLE POINT THAT CAUSES MY PROOF TO BE REJECTED:

    Linz and everyone here believes that deciders must base their decision >>>>>> on non-finite string non-inputs Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ over-ruling the actual
    behavior specified by the actual finite string actual input.

    The definition of decider proves all of them wrong:
    A decider maps its inputs to a final accept or reject state.

    A halt decider maps its inputs to a final accept or reject state on the >>>>>> basis of the actual behavior actually specified by its input.

    The actual behavior actually specified by the input is measured by >>>>>> whether or not the input could possibly reach its own final state when >>>>>> correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.

    So let's apply that criteria to the turing machine N and the simulating halt deciders Ha3 and Ha7.
    It is ridiculously stupid to make breaking changes to a possibly correct >>>> halt decider as the basis for determining whether or not this original >>>> halt decider is correct.

    All I did was use your definition of what a halt decider does and what the input to a halt decider specifies and applied it to a different set of halt deciders and inputs. The conclusions:

    ---
    The behavior specified by the input <N><5> to Ha3 is measured by whether the input could possibly reach its own final state when correctly simulated by Ha3.
    Testing to see how much one broken halt decider is broken.
    Since the correct pure simulation of 3 steps the input never reaches its final state of <N.qy>, Ha3 is correct to reject it.
    IT IS NOT CORRECT TO ACCEPT IT IS INCORRECT FOR IT TO BE INTENTIONALLY
    BROKEN.

    A broken halt decider that is broken too much for a specific input gets
    the wrong answer.

    Here is another similar example: int Sum(int N, int M) { return 5 };
    Sum(3,5) ---> 5; // according to you 5 is the correct answer.
    This does not contradict that N applied to <5> halts because it is a non-finite string non-input.

    The input <N><5> to Ha7 does reach its final state of <N.qy> so Ha7 is correct to accept it. This does not contradict that the input <N><5> to Ha3 is rejected because the input to Ha3 is not the actual input to Ha7 and therefore specifies a different
    sequence of configurations.
    ---
    Same idea as using the above int Sum(int N, int M) { return 5 };
    Sum(2,3)--->5

    A broken halt decider that is not broken too much for a specific input
    gets the right answer.
    Are a direct consequence of these definitions. If you think the above is bogus, the only way for that to be possible is if your definition of "the actual behavior specified by the input" doesn't make sense, and that the behavior of the input <M><I>
    to a halt decider is (as specified by Linz) M applied to <I>.

    The actual behavior actually specified by the input is measured by
    whether or not the input could possibly reach its own final state
    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.

    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.
    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.
    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.
    Incorrectly simulated by cutting off the simulation too soon does not count. >>> So either you stand by your definitions and accept the conclusion above that follows from it, or you accept that your alternate definition doesn't make sense and that neither Linz nor anyone else was "confused".
    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider. Incorrectly
    simulated by cutting off the simulation too soon does not count.

    Your examples simply failed to meet the required spec thus are not valid
    counter-examples at all.

    So your criteria that a simulating halt decider is incorrect is that it cuts off the simulation too soon?

    Then let's apply that to Ha.

    Ha rejects <Ha^><Ha^>. But does it cut off its simulation too soon?

    WTF? Do you agree that smashing you car's windshield with a sledge
    hammer is not the proper way to start the engine of your car?

    If Ha3 can be shown to be incorrect by giving the input to another halt decider that simulates for more steps, we can do the same for Ha.


    No more bullshit examples please. They are nothing more than head games.

    We know that Ha will simulate for up to some number n of steps. So we create Hb that simulates for n+k steps. Hb accepts <Ha^><Ha^>.

    Therefore we have shown that Ha does NOT do a correct simulation of <Ha^><Ha^> because it cuts of its simulation too soon, as demonstrated by Hb. The halting problem proof is therefore validated.

    IT IS ONLY THIS SINGLE POINT THAT CAUSES MY PROOF TO BE REJECTED:

    Linz and everyone here believes that deciders must base their decision
    on non-finite string non-inputs Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ over-ruling the
    actual behavior specified by the actual finite string actual input.

    And actual behavior is define by H <M> w needs to answer on the behavior
    of M applied to w.

    So you either disagree with:

    (1) Linz: computation that halts … the Turing machine will halt whenever
    it enters a final state. (Linz:1990:234)

    (2) That a correct simulation of a Turing machine description that would
    never reach its final state is computationally equivalent to the direct execution of this same Turing machine never reaching its final state.

    (3) That analyzing the behavior of a correct partial simulation of some
    of the steps of a Turing machine description can accurately predict that
    a full simulation would never reach its final state.

    Or you agree with all of those points and understand exactly how they
    prove that I am correct, yet say that you disagree just to be disagreeable.

    I will change my words so that your spec meets these
    changed words:
    It is self evidently correct that the simulated input

    possibly reach its own final state of ⟨N.qy⟩ in any
    insufficient number
    number of steps of correct simulation by H3a. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    My specs says 1.. ∞ steps your spec says 1 .. 3 steps

    embedded_Ha doesn't simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for infinite
    steps either. It simulates for up to some n number of
    steps.

    Where N is the number of simulated steps required to

    It does not violate the specification. The simulating halt
    decider Hb simulates enough steps of its input <Ha^><Ha^> to
    correctly determine that its input reaches its final state of
    <Ha^.qn> therefore it is correct to accept it. This means that
    Ha and therefore embedded_Ha did *not* simulate enough steps
    of <Ha^><Ha^> and gets the wrong answer. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> THERE CANNOT POSSIBLY BE ANY CORRECT REBUTTAL TO THIS: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When embedded_H simulates enough steps of its input ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ to

    embedded_Ha does *not* simulate enough steps of its input >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <Ha^><Ha^> .
    Then it violates the spec and is merely a dishonest attempt at the
    strawman error.

    How does it violate the spec?
    embedded_H DOES SIMULATE ENOUGH STEPS.
    embedded_Ha IS REQUIRED TO SIMULATE ENOUGH STEPS OR IT VIOLATES THE
    SPEC.

    HHH always simulates its input until it has proof that its simulated
    input never reaches its own final state or its simulated input reaches
    its own final state.

    Try and find an input that HHH does not decide correctly, everything
    else is merely a deceitful attempt to get away with the strawman error.

    Assuming HHH is Ha

    We absolutely do not assume that.
    We only assume that HHH has the proeperties shown above. >>>>>>>>>>>> // NO INFINITE LOOP

    Both embedded_H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ and H ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ transition to their final reject

    Recalling that the H above can also be referred to as Ha to denote a halt decider that aborts with the infinite simulation logic and Ha^ is built from Ha:

    We can give the input <Ha^><Ha^> to Hb, which simulates for some k steps more than Ha,
    So great Hb simulates for some k steps more than infinity.

    Not k more than infinity, but k more than the n steps that Ha simulates.
    and you just said that Ha simulates to infinity because Ha is merely >>>>>>>> another name for H. It is pretty ridiculously stupid to create a new >>>>>>>> name for identical behavior.

    And that is why I'm specifically using the name Ha to refer to the H that aborts. You're now talking about Hn which doesn't abort and *actually* can run for an infinite number of steps, but is unable to report on a non-halting input. Ha is only
    able to simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for a finite number of steps (n), so Hb can simulate <Ha^><Ha^> for n+k steps and see it halt.
    All of those permutations are moot. We don't need to look at any of them >>>>>> that get the wrong answer we only need to examine the one that gets the >>>>>> right answer and then see how Ĥ plugs in to this one.

    I'll tell you a secret: the Linz proof assumes that HHH exists and then proves that it gets the HHH^ case wrong, showing that it actually can't exist.
    IT IS ONLY THIS SINGLE POINT THAT CAUSES MY PROOF TO BE REJECTED:

    Linz and everyone here believes that deciders must base their decision >>>> on non-finite string non-inputs Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ over-ruling the actual
    behavior specified by the actual finite string actual input.

    The definition of decider proves all of them wrong:
    A decider maps its inputs to a final accept or reject state.

    A halt decider maps its inputs to a final accept or reject state on the >>>> basis of the actual behavior actually specified by its input.

    The actual behavior actually specified by the input is measured by

    So let's apply that criteria to the turing machine N and the simulating halt deciders Ha3 and Ha7.
    It is ridiculously stupid to make breaking changes to a possibly correct
    halt decider as the basis for determining whether or not this original
    halt decider is correct.

    All I did was use your definition of what a halt decider does and what the input to a halt decider specifies and applied it to a different set of halt deciders and inputs. The conclusions:

    ---
    The behavior specified by the input <N><5> to Ha3 is measured by whether the input could possibly reach its own final state when correctly simulated by Ha3.

    Testing to see how much one broken halt decider is broken.

    Since the correct pure simulation of 3 steps the input never reaches its final state of <N.qy>, Ha3 is correct to reject it.


    IT IS NOT CORRECT TO ACCEPT IT IS INCORRECT FOR IT TO BE INTENTIONALLY
    BROKEN.

    A broken halt decider that is broken too much for a specific input gets
    the wrong answer.

    Here is another similar example: int Sum(int N, int M) { return 5 };
    Sum(3,5) ---> 5; // according to you 5 is the correct answer.

    This does not contradict that N applied to <5> halts because it is a non-finite string non-input.

    The input <N><5> to Ha7 does reach its final state of <N.qy> so Ha7 is correct to accept it. This does not contradict that the input <N><5> to Ha3 is rejected because the input to Ha3 is not the actual input to Ha7 and therefore specifies a different
    sequence of configurations.
    ---

    Same idea as using the above int Sum(int N, int M) { return 5 };
    Sum(2,3)--->5

    A broken halt decider that is not broken too much for a specific input
    gets the right answer.

    Are a direct consequence of these definitions. If you think the above is bogus, the only way for that to be possible is if your definition of "the actual behavior specified by the input" doesn't make sense, and that the behavior of the input <M><I> to
    a halt decider is (as specified by Linz) M applied to <I>.


    The actual behavior actually specified by the input is measured by
    whether or not the input could possibly reach its own final state
    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.

    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.
    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.
    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider.

    Incorrectly simulated by cutting off the simulation too soon does not count.

    So either you stand by your definitions and accept the conclusion above that follows from it, or you accept that your alternate definition doesn't make sense and that neither Linz nor anyone else was "confused".

    when correctly simulated by the simulating halt decider. Incorrectly
    simulated by cutting off the simulation too soon does not count.

    Your examples simply failed to meet the required spec thus are not valid counter-examples at all.

    So your criteria that a simulating halt decider is incorrect is that it cuts off the simulation too soon?

    Then let's apply that to Ha.

    Ha rejects <Ha^><Ha^>. But does it cut off its simulation too soon?
    WTF? Do you agree that smashing you car's windshield with a sledge
    hammer is not the proper way to start the engine of your car?

    So that's all you're left with? Bad analogies?

    Because of the way you've defined what the input to a halt decider represents and what a halt decider does, you have inconsistent logic.

    Any logic you use to show that Ha is correct to reject <Ha^><Ha^> can also be used to show that Ha3 is correct to reject <N><5>, and any logic you use to show that Ha3 is not correct to reject <N><5> can be used to show that that Ha is not correct to
    reject <Ha^><Ha^>.

    So it looks like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    If Ha3 can be shown to be incorrect by giving the input to another halt decider that simulates for more steps, we can do the same for Ha.

    No more bullshit examples please. They are nothing more than head games.

    The fact that you think valid logic is a "bullshit example" or "head game" just shows how little logic you actually understand.

    Bottom line: a halt decider H given input <M><I> is required to report if M applied to <I> halts.

    The correct simulation of <M><I> by the simulating halt decider at the
    point in the execution trace where the simulating halt decider actually
    is does demonstrate the actual behavior specified by <M><I> at this
    point in the execution trace.

    It is merely a very persistent false assumption that a correct
    simulation of <M><I> at some other different point in the execution
    trace must derive identical behavior.

    Using an alternate definition doesn't work as doing so leads to the above.

    Q.E.D.

    These three points are the basis of my correct analysis.

    (1) Linz: computation that halts … the Turing machine will halt whenever
    it enters a final state. (Linz:1990:234)

    (2) That a correct simulation of a Turing machine description that would
    never reach its final state is computationally equivalent to the direct execution of this same Turing machine never reaching its final state.

    (3) That analyzing the behavior of a correct partial simulation of some
    of the steps of a Turing machine description can accurately predict that
    a full simulation would never reach its final state.

    execution of this same Turing machine never reaching its final state.

    The direct execution of the turing machine Ha^ applied to <Ha^> reaches a final state, therefore the correct simulation of that turing machine would reach a final state.

    Hb applied to <Ha^><Ha^> reaches a final state of its input and is therefore a correct simulation. Ha applied to <Ha^><Ha^> does not reach a final state its input and is therefore not a correct simulation as demonstrated by Hb.


    (3) That analyzing the behavior of a correct partial simulation of some
    of the steps of a Turing machine description can accurately predict that
    a full simulation would never reach its final state.

    It *can*, but not in the case of Ha applied to <Ha^><Ha^> as demonstrated by Hb applied to <Ha^><Ha^>.

    As I said before :

    Any logic you use to show that Ha is correct to reject <Ha^><Ha^> can also be used to show that Ha3 is correct to reject <N><5>, and any logic you use to show that Ha3 is not correct to reject <N><5> can be used to show that that Ha is not correct to
    reject <Ha^><Ha^>.

    THE PART THAT YOU IGNORED
    The correct simulation of <M><I> by the simulating halt decider at the
    point in the execution trace where the simulating halt decider actually
    is does demonstrate the actual behavior specified by <M><I> at this
    point in the execution trace.

    It is merely a very persistent false assumption that a correct
    simulation of <M><I> at some other different point in the execution
    trace must derive identical behavior.

    Nope, you made a BIG mistake

    UTM simulatio of <H^> <H^> also begins with the H^ copies its input
    <H^0> to <H^1>

    Your second would be UTM simulation of <_embedded_H> <H^> <H^>

    Which isn't the question.

    You seem to forget that Turing Machine DO execute on their own.


    Yes, embedded_H applied to <H^> <H^> is a different machine from H^
    applied to <H^>, that is a given.

    The PROBLEM you have is that embedded_H <H^> <H^> needs to answer
    based on what H^ applied to <H^> will do, or equivalently what UTM
    applied to <H^> <H^> will do, and that is ALWAYS the same and the
    'outer' level of that is NEVER aborted, and if embedded_H goes to Qn,
    the both of those will also go to H^.Qn and HALT< showing the ACTUAL
    BEHAVIOR of the machine reprented by the input, and thus the CORRECT
    answer, is HALTING.

    If neither the outer level nor the inner level simulation aborts then
    the simulation never stops.

    Right. But the H / embedded_H fails to answer.


    Right so that scenario must be rejected because the halt decider must
    itself halt.


    If either the outer level or the inner level must abort to prevent
    infinite simulation then it correctly rejects its input.


    THE OUTER LEVEL CAN'T abort, because it was defined to be a UTM, which
    never aborts.

    If the outer-level is stipulated to be a UTM then it cannot abort.

    If the inner one aborts, because it is the simulating, the outer one
    Halts, and shows the input to be HALTING and thus the decider to be
    WRONG, and NOT correct.


    These are the permutations that I am examining:
    UTM UTM -> never halts
    SHD UTM -> SHD correctly rejects
    UTM SHD -> SHD correctly rejects
    SHD SHD -> SHD correctly rejects


    FAIL.

    If the outer level of simulation does not abort then this is
    computationally equivalent to direct execution.

    Right.


    If the outer level of simulation does not abort and the inner level
    does abort then the only reason that the outer level halts is that the
    second invocation of an otherwise infinite recursion was aborted thus
    terminating what would have otherwise been infinite recursion.



    WRONG. Halting is Halting, It doesn't look at 'reason'.

    FAIL.

    Sure it does. If there is conditional branch on one path and no
    conditional branch on the other path then the behavior will vary between
    paths.

    Not so much 'rejected' as shows that design of a Halt Decider doesn't work.


    If either the outer level or the inner level must abort to prevent
    infinite simulation then it correctly rejects its input.


    THE OUTER LEVEL CAN'T abort, because it was defined to be a UTM,

    UTM  SHD -> SHD correctly rejects

    No, you are just babbling, they are NOT correct.

    The ONLY case that actually matters is UTM SHD, as in UTM <H^> <H^>
    which then inside the simulation of H^, we see the SHD of H.

    The second item is NEVER a UTM, as you just agreed that H can't be just
    a UTM (or if it is, it just proves the SHD that is a UTM fails). You
    NEVER 'replace' the SHD with a UTM to look at the behavior of the input,
    that is just an incorrect simulation.

    Since UTM <H^> <H^> halts, the ONLY correct answer for SHD <H^> <H^> is halting (Qy) which is Not what it does.

    FAIL


    FAIL.

    If the outer level of simulation does not abort then this is

    Right.


    If the outer level of simulation does not abort and the inner level

    the second invocation of an otherwise infinite recursion was aborted
    thus terminating what would have otherwise been infinite recursion.



    WRONG. Halting is Halting, It doesn't look at 'reason'.

    FAIL.

    Sure it does. If there is conditional branch on one path and no
    conditional branch on the other path then the behavior will vary
    between paths.


    You are just being silly.

    You are talking about two copies of the exact same thing.

    One can't have a condition the other doesn't have. That just shows you
    are totally ignorant about what you are talking about.

    The behavior of ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated outside of Ĥ must be computationally
    equivalent to the direct execution of Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ yet not the same as ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ simulated inside of Ĥ.

    The directly executed Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ is the first invocation of infinite recursion that only terminates normally because of its one-way dependency relationship on embedded_H aborting the second invocation of

    Ĥ applied to ⟨Ĥ⟩ depends on the decision made by embedded_H. The simulated ⟨Ĥ⟩ ⟨Ĥ⟩ cannot reach the point of this dependency.
